  • Excellent Spare in Daddy's Vehicle and Great to Travel with!!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 26, 2004
    Pros: Lightweight, Easy to Use, Easy to Install, Cost Effective
    Cons: Straps could get twisty, Front adjust plate pops off on mine.

    Summary: I purchased this seat a year ago when they were on sale at Value City for $39.99. I had heard good things about it, and we needed a spare to be passed around from Gramma to Aunt to Daddy's vehicle so it also needed to be easy to use and easy to install. ... read more

  • Graco Cargo Carseat

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 26, 2008
    Pros: affordable, comfortable, and safe
    Cons: Not a lot of side head support

    Summary: This is a forward facing car seat only. It works for children 22-80 pounds. I was looking for a comfortable carseat for a toddler, not necessarily one that would work in every stage. Most of them hardly had any padding and looked like they would ... read more

  • Great toddler car seat

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 4, 2008
    Pros: Comfortable, easy-to use
    Cons: none

    Summary: This car seat is wonderful, especially compared to the Evenflo I had before it. I had such a tough time adjusting the straps in the other one, I gave that one to my husband and kept this one in the family vehicle. This car seat is super easy to ... read more

    Pros: Small profile fits easily in smaller cars and on air planes.
    Cons: Seat belt slides are difficult to use.

    Summary: The Graco Ultra CarGo Booster Car Seat offers a five point harness forward facing carseat and belt positioning booster with a narrow profile. This seat is the ideal choice for families with multiple seats (or children) in the backseat of a smaller car. ... read more

  • well-made and durable

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 28, 2005
    Pros: very durable, easy to adjust straps, easy latch installation
    Cons: cup holder too far forward

    Summary: I have been using this car seat for my 26-month-old for over a year, and I have been very happy with it. My car has the Latch system, so that makes installation relatively easy (and I feel confident that it was installed properly). The straps are ... read more

  • I LOVE THIS SEAT!!!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 27, 2004
    Pros: cup/snack tray, removable neck pillow, snooze bar
    Cons: NONE!!

    Summary: I saw this seat in our local Target just a few days before we were in an accident. Because of the accident, my two children needed new seats and this seat was my first choice for my 18 month old. Now that we have it and use it, I know my choice was ... read more

  • This seat has both good and bad...

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 30, 2004
    Pros: Roomy, adjusts from front, easy enough to install
    Cons: Not enough padding in back, crotch strap a bit long, nothing special

    Summary: I do not love combination seats that have harnesses and later become boosters. But when our small-for his age 4 year old outgrew the harness length on his Evenflo Triumph, I thought it would be silly to get another convertible. Since he is only 31 ... read more

  • Who wants to sit in a hard plastic seat for 5 hours? Not me!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 12, 2004
    Pros: This has the most padding of any of the booster seats I've found...
    Cons: ...but that's still not very much.

    Summary: Am I the only one who’s ever walked the carseat aisle at any given store and been amazed that almost none of the carseats (especially boosters) have any padding at all??? If they were at least ergonomically designed instead of ... read more

  • Great Car Seat

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 16, 2003
    Pros: Easy to install, 5-Point harness, great price.
    Cons: Straps do twist.

    Summary: We we're needing the next step up in a Car seat and I was looking for something that could be converted to a Booster for later. I'm picky when it comes to which one to get so did a lot of researching and found this one to be good. When it came time to ... read more

  • Just what we needed!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 18, 2003
    Pros: Can be used two ways--five-point harness and booster with seatbelt.
    Cons: Be careful with the seatbelt adjusters--they can be tricky.

    Summary: Our four-year old is just barely 30 pounds, and still needs a five-point restraint. She is 39 inche ... read more

  • I have mixed feelings about this booster seat

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 13, 2003
    Pros: Buckles latch/unlatch easily, converts into booster easily
    Cons: Raised sides make lifting a 3 year old into it difficult

    Summary: I decided to get this booster seat because we were having a baby (who is sitting here with me right now :) so we decided to promote our three year old to a booster from the car seat (which would be used for the baby.) I used a "points redemption" ... read more

  • The best seat...BUT

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 1, 2003
    Pros: up-front adjuster, cup holder, deep sides for napping & the straps never get twisted!!
    Cons: Not much padding. Also not recommended to be used as a seat belt guide.

    Summary: I loved everything about this seat when I first bought it for my 2 year old last year. It has deep sides that hold his head when he falls asleep. The up-front harness adjuster is wonderful for the day to day weather changes, I always know the straps are ... read more

  • A great booster for the money!

    Pros: Good quality, 5pt harness, easy to install, cup & snack holder, easy on the checkbook.
    Cons: Straps are sometimes annoying.

    Summary: If there is one thing I am particularly picky about, it's the carseats I put my kids in. However, being a stay at home means that we don't have the income to afford very high-priced seats, but we *do* want good quality and safe items for our kids. ... read more

  • Could be more comfortable

    Oct 29, 2002
    Pros: Light weight. Cup holder and elastic pouch come in handy.
    Cons: Seems hard to the touch.

    Summary: I bought this car seat for the four year old I take care of (Thomas). It works well. The seat belt can go behind the car seat (under 40 pounds) or in front of it and the child (over 40 pounds). It is easy to use, Thomas likes to buckle himself in. He ... read more

  • the easiest car seat ever.

    Feb 15, 2007
    Pros: able to be adjusted for a perfect fit, easy to remove and install
    Cons: seat is tough getting the belt through using it as toddler seat,

    Summary: I bought this for my son, after adjusting a different seat nearly a dozen times trying to get it to fit right. This car seat adjusts the easiest that I have ever seen, and because it has such a varied weight limit it sort of grows with your child. It is

  • Disappointed

    Pros: good safety ratings
    Cons: seat cover, straps, lack of quality, difficult to adjust

    Summary: I am not pleased with this seat!! My older child has a Graco, and it is wonderful. It is easy to take apart and clean. This seat is awful!! The head cushion became misshapen after the first wash. It is terribly difficult to put the seat cover back on

  • a okay first seat

    Pros: harmess,size,cup holder removeable
    Cons: not really sure,, okay Needs to have WAY more PADDING!

    Summary: This carseat is Okay as a childs first carseat we got this for our 3 year old as well as for our 18 month old..... I wish that there was more padding though but there are some that are

    Pros: Converts into a booster, easy to use, slimmer in design; not as bulky.
    Cons: I think the only thing I don't like is that the straps get twisted easily.

    Summary: I bought this for our 3rd child about a week before our 5th was born. He has to sit all the way in the back of our van because we have 2 smaller children who need to be closer to me. He is able to climb in it by himself and all I (or one of the older

    Pros: Lightweight, easy to install, easy to adjust straps
    Cons: none as far as I'm concerned

    Summary: I bought this seat for my daughter when she outgrew her convertible seat and I was pregnant with my son. It is easy to install both with the seat belt and with the LATCH. The seat is light and I have no problems with the straps twisting like I did with
